Chapter 1158: Empress Yin Egresses

“How lively.”

“Haha! I didn’t expect that Hu Baiwan, the richest merchant in the world and the Murong Clan would be here. Faction Master Yuyan, it seems like we were right to come on this trip. The rumors of the desert palace are probably real!”

An elegant and mighty voice filled with an intimidating, demonic strength traveled from outside. In an instant, the atmosphere in the inn, which was firmly in control of Hu Baiwan’s forces and the Murong Clan, changed.

Whoosh!

Everyone cast their gazes to the entrance.

Even Hu Baiwan and the white-clad young man were a little distracted by the sudden sound. They looked over in shock.

Right before their eyes, they saw a pair of middle-aged men and women with extraordinary grace walk through the door in great pride. Their footsteps were relaxed, and they gave off an air of arrogance that would make others feel ashamed in their presence. They moved through the crowd as if the inn was uninhabited and arrived at the center to stand among the people.

“Evil King…”

“Empress Yin!”

The people around them all let out surprised gasps.

They had just been shocked by Happy working together with the Murong Clan and felt that the fight in Dragon Gate Inn was over, but at this critical moment, these two demons who ruled over the Chinese plains appeared, and everyone in the hall was surprised.

“So, it’s the both of you…”

Hu Baiwan’s expression was incredibly dark. He had just lost a major fighter of his, and he no longer had the right to compete against Evil King in the desert palace. He had to take the initiative to greet him.

More martial artists from the Chinese plains had arrived. Now, Hu Baiwan was even more certain that he should leave this place. Even though he had been planning to go to the desert palace for a long time, things had already progressed to this stage, and he was already powerless in getting the treasures in there.

“Alright, I’ll promise you.” Hu Baiwan looked at Happy and nodded to agree to his request. Then, he turned to Osaya and gave her a profound look.

In the next moment, Happy obtained a system notification. “Before the Desert Palace Quest ends, Osaya will temporarily serve as your follower. She will try her best to fulfill your requests.”

At that moment, Happy had already stopped sizing up Evil King and Empress Yin.

He had been greatly surprised by their arrival. and when he saw them, his pupils shrank slightly.

As usual, Evil King was strong and mysterious, but Empress Yin…

Happy noticed that the qi that enveloped Empress Yin’s body had become bizarre and difficult to comprehend. Her entire body looked as if it was enveloped in a hazy, black fog. It was incredibly enchanting and enigmatic. The familiar presence of the dao of heaven had also appeared on her.

When he sensed this, Happy instantly remembered Wan Wan telling him that Empress Yin had been in isolated training when he received the second stone plate and before he left the Chinese plains.

Once he recalled this, Happy could not help but suck in a sharp breath. He began wondering about his next move.

Empress Yin had indeed gone into isolated training and entered the dao of heaven.

Right now, Evil King and Empress Yin had truly stepped into the dao of heaven.

If he had let Osaya slip from his grasp because of his desire for temporary gain and took the three martial art techniques that were also ultimate techniques, his quest might become even more difficult than before.

Evil King alone was already difficult enough to deal with. Now, with Empress Yin, who had also become One with the World, Happy would not stand a chance alone.

Fortunately, Happy had not been blinded by temporary impulse when he was faced with great temptation. He had also not overlooked the essence of the quest because of all that was offered to him.

This quest might have been offered to everyone in the Chinese plains, but Happy did not forget that he was the person who would be carrying out the quest.

He had to prioritize the quest!

If he forgot about the dangers and fortuitous chances in the desert palace because of some of the small gains during the quest, that would just be sad.

Right now, the desert palace had not been activated, and three people at the dao of heaven had already arrived. There was also the Master of Gu Poison, who was really only at the threshold of entering the dao of heaven, and more than one hundred Myth Realm elites.

When he thought of this, Happy suddenly had a clearer understanding of the difficulty of a quest held at a forbidden land, and just how much danger was contained in it.

“Let’s go!”

Once he completed the trade, Hu Baiwan unhesitatingly led his people to leave Dragon Gate Inn.

When the group passed by Evil King and Empress Yin, Hu Baiwan intentionally stopped moving and wrapped his fist in his palm. “Goodbye.”

“Oh?”

Evil King and Empress Yin had just arrived at Dragon Gate Inn, and they did not understand what was going on. But they knew about Hu Baiwan’s abilities in West Region and the Chinese plains, along with the large information network he had hidden in secret. When they saw the injured people among Hu Baiwan’s people, Evil King quirked an eyebrow and subconsciously cast a glance at the messy inn and the shattered chairs and tables all over the inn. “Brother Hu, where are you going?”

“I regret to say this, but I am not as skillful as they are. I would be ashamed to continue staying here. Evil King, Empress Yin, if you have the time to come to West Region to be my guest, I will definitely clean up my place and wait for you.”

Hu Baiwan sighed again and saluted the two Chinese elites who had an astonishing presence. He passed by Evil King and Empress Yin in a wary manner and left Dragon Gate Inn.

Evil King and Empress Yin were shocked by how pathetic Hu Baiwan looked, especially when they saw that the Master of Gu Poison was injured heavily and had to be supported when he left. They frowned even further and redirected their gazes to look over the inn. Soon, their eyes fell on the white-clad young man not too far away from them, along with the charming Osaya.

Evil King quickly understood that Hu Baiwan’s departure should be related to these two people. As for the Murong Clan elites behind them? Evil King chose to ignore them.

“Both of you look quite familiar.”

Evil King turned and spoke. His words held an underlying meaning.

The polite and gentle-looking middle-aged man did not seem dangerous, but Happy, who knew Evil King well, understood clearly that ever since he returned from the cluster of Buddha statues, Evil King had become incredibly terrifying, and he had also become even more unfathomable than before.

The invisible qi of those in the dao of heaven came enveloping him.

Empress Yin and Osaya instantly noticed Evil King’s actions.

The two women regarded this with indifference and did not interfere.

In Empress Yin’s case, it was because the white-clad young man did not seem to have a high qi realm. Since Evil King had decided to personally test him, this had nothing to do with her. But that was because she did not manage to recognize that the person who had disguised his face in front of her was someone she knew.

As for Osaya, she would not even be worried.

The white-clad teenager had been able to defeat someone like the Master of Gu Poison with just one strike. She did not think that this level of pressure from Evil King would be effective to him.

Just as she expected, when Evil King noticed that his pressure was not effective to the white-clad teenager in front of him, his expression became stern.

Because as time passed, the people from the Murong Clan slowly noticed his action, and the three people at the peak of Myth Realm and two elites at the later stage of Myth Realm took a step forward at the same time and arrived behind Happy so that they could force his pressure back.

“Hmph!”

Empress Yin had just entered the dao of heaven, but she was quite arrogant. She snorted coldly and was prepared to work together with Evil King to intimidate the Murong Clan and the white-clad teenager in front of her together.

But right when she was about to take action, a presence that was similar to hers suddenly came out from Osaya. She led her qi activity around, and it changed targets without Empress Yin’s knowledge. Their qis formed a stalemate independent from Evil King and the others’ fight.

Because of it, Evil King gained a further understanding of the relationship between the white-clad young man and the people from the Murong Clan. He cast a deep glance at the enigmatic Osaya. He quietly retracted his qi and flung his sleeve before he said, “You’re pretty good.”

Even though he said this, Evil King had already treated the people in front of him as powerful enemies.

They had one elite at the dao of heaven with them, several elites at the peak of Myth Realm, and a white-clad young man of inscrutable strength. It was enough to threaten his and Empress Yin goal for this trip.

“Owner!”

Evil King turned around, and the tense atmosphere in the inn instantly vanished.

Jin Xiangyu looked out from the kitchen with a complicated and strange expression. She looked around, placed her hands on her hips, and sashayed out.

“Bastards, they caused such a mess in my inn, and they didn’t even give me a single piece of silver as compensation. The next time I see them, I will definitely poi—I will definitely make him pay.”

Jin Xiangyu might be angry, but she was just in time to not reveal any of her deeds.

She ordered her employees to clean up the inn and set up the chairs, tables, and benches. The hall of the inn quietly looked as good as new, and the people sat down.

But now, the right side hall was emptied.

Happy cast a look at Evil King, and without hesitation, he agreed to Murong Xun’s suggestion. They occupied the right side hall.

Evil King and Empress Yin were not the only ones who came here. Demon General Zhao Deyan, Priest Xiyin had also come with them. The four of them looked around before their eyes landed on the left side hall.

Phantasmal Shadow and the others were shocked.

Before Evil King and his party moved to them, the group moved out of the left side hall one after another. They gave up their seats on their own.

Evil King and his group naturally walked over and sat down without putting on any pretense of politeness.

Evil King and his group were not to be provoked, and the people in the right side hall were not to be offended either. Unfortunately for Phantasmal Shadow, she had to sit down in the hall with her party.

But there were several people at the dao of heaven by the sides, and powerful fighters also surrounded them. Phantasmal Shadow and many of the players felt as if they were sitting on pins and needles.

This feeling was incredibly bad.

This was especially so for the players who were weak.

Right now, before the desert palace had even appeared, the people at the dao of heaven had already kicked the richest merchant in the world out of the picture. These players felt that their future in the quest was bleak. Quite a number of people only sat for a while before they were unable to bear with the oppressive and tense atmosphere in the inn. They left.

Even though Hu Baiwan left, the situation in the inn just became even more complicated.

Butt Happy no longer had the intention of paying attention to the changes of people in the inn.

“We will not forget your act of lending us a hand. I, Murong Xun, toast to you on behalf of all members in my clan.” Murong Xun did not forget that the reason why he could still stand here in the right side hall was because of this mysterious white-clad teenager. After he toasted to him, he cast a glance at Thousand-faced Human Fox, whose origins he could not tell. “And you, my friend…”

“Thank you,” Happy answered faintly, lifted his cup, and took a sip.

The people from the Murong Clan might feel that the white-clad teenager was rather arrogant, but they did not feel that it was unbearable. After all, the boy was indeed abnormally strong.

Thousand-faced Human Fox did not sit down, which was a sensible move from him. He continued standing behind Happy and did not leave his side, fulfilling his role as his follower. When he saw Murong Xun toasting to him, he said calmly, “Clan Leader Murong, you should thank my master. I was just acting on my master’s orders.”

When he spoke, he did not even look up.

Their act as master and servant was foolproof, and it caused them to be unable to help but guess just what was the white-clad teenager’s identity.

But Happy’s other follower, Osaya, did not act in such a servile manner. She casually sat beside Happy and ignored Murong Xun’s words. The atmosphere instantly turned awkward.
